Johnnie, Irv, John Jack and Aaron -
Thanks for your help rotating the axle did it! The
new springs are in and the car in 1 inch up in back
and squats at least a littles bit less on moving off.
I may have to try telescopics to reduce this in the
future.
I managed to tear one of the axle boots so I have to
disconnect at least one axle in the coming weeks,
until then the tire tube and duct tape will have to
do!
Thanks for your help and advice!
